Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 140 By coincidence, Tom Malfoy had recently taken a young woman he was keeping to a jewellery store to buy accessories, where he'd caught the eye of a sales assistant.

Malfoy, having known countless women and living a profligate lifestyle, wanted to bed any attractive woman who caught his fancy.

He had spent over two million pounds on a necklace for his kept woman, simultaneously showing off his wealth to the shop assistant.

While the young woman was in the restroom, Malfoy had asked for the sales assistant's contact information. That very night, they ended up in bed together.

On Valentines, Malfoy arranged another meeting with the sales assistant.

In a themed hotel suite, after they'd finished, Malfoy tossed a card to the woman. "Happy Valentines, darling. Spend it however you like." The woman smiled as she accepted the card, and with suggestive intent, said coquettishly: "You never put any thought into choosing a gift for me. It's always just money. Today, a gentleman in our store purchased the Valentines limited edition necklace priced at £9,990,000 for his girlfriend. I'm so envious. He must truly love her." Malfoy scoffed, leaning against the headboard casually smoking a post-coital cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke.

Having just been satisfied, his mood was good, and he wasn't angered by her words. He smiled, responding with unusual patience: "There's over a hundred thousand in that card. Buy whatever you fancy. Money is all that matters-you're not seriously expecting love, are you?" The woman snuggled up to him, resting her head on his chest as she said in a babyish voice: "I was just making conversation." Malfoy flicked his ash, his expression cold. "Don't mention that word-love." "I understand." Malfoy hadn't given the matter much thought initially.

Shortly after Valentines, Asher seemed suddenly motivated by something and began investigating Malfoy's operations relentlessly. Arno Jones had made only a minor oversight, but Asher's team immediately spotted the weakness.

Before long, Jones was arrested by the police.

15-11 Chapter 140 All the companies under his control were also investigated.

At first, Malfoy had frantically sent people to assassinate Asher, but all attempts failed.

After losing considerable manpower and resources on Asher, Malfoy decided to revert to his previous strategy- targeting those close to him.

Originally, his target had been the actress rumoured to be involved with Asher.

However, Grace Bennett had informed him that the actress was actually Asher's distant cousin, and their rumoured relationship was merely to boost her publicity and popularity.

Upon hearing this, Malfoy immediately recalled when Thalia had just broken up with Asher. He had sent people to follow her, and her heartbroken, intoxicated state hadn't seemed like an act. She had cursed Asher as fickle, unfaithful, and abandoning her.

Judging by Thalia's behaviour, she truly seemed unaware that the actress was Asher's cousin.

Looking at the timing of their breakup, it had occurred shortly after Randolph's incident.

Malfoy realised that he had likely been deceived by Asher.

Just then, he remembered what the woman had told him on Valentines about someone spending £9,990,000 on an exclusive necklace for his girlfriend.

Few people in London could afford such an extravagant gesture.

Malfoy immediately called the woman to inquire about the purchaser.

Because the incident had made such a strong impression on her, she had taken special note of the man's information. When Malfoy asked, she truthfully replied: "He appeared to be in his thirties, about 5'8" or 5'9", slim, with the surnFord." "What address did he leave? Who was the recipient?" "It was delivered to an upscale residential area in London. The recipient was a Miss Winters." Malfoy was almost certain that this "Miss Winters" must be Thalia.

He laughed bitterly and asked the woman to send him the CCTV footage from that day.

Soon, she sent the video.

In the surveillance footage, the man buying the necklace was clearly visible. Malfoy recognised him immediately as Matt Ford, Asher's special assistant.

So he had been deceived! Chapter 140 Asher had only broken up with Thalia to keep her out of harm's way.

Malfoy sat on his sofa, his eyes cold and menacing.

The glass tumbler in his hand shattered.

"How interesting," Malfoy said, his hand bleeding profusely from the glass shards, yet his face bore an amused smile that appeared sinister and terrifying.

The man muttered: “Asher Blackwood, you love her so much. Would you trade your life for hers?" "What the hell did you just say? They've kidnapped Thalia?" Drake's veins bulged on his forehead, his expression frantic.

Compared to Drake's agitation, Grace Bennett appeared remarkably calm.

She sat on the sofa, smiling, seemingly in a good mood.

"Yes," Grace said, lifting her eyes to meet Drake's, smiling. “When I first learned that my brother broke up with her to protect her, I wished she would just die. Now my wish is finally coming true. In Mr. Malfoy's hands, Thalia Winters certainly won't survive." Drake's eyes reddened with fury. He lunged forward, grabbing Grace's collar and lifting her up.

His anger exploding, he shouted at Grace: "You goddamn liar! You said working with you was just to break up Thalia and Asher! You promisedyou wouldn't hurt her!" Before Grace could respond, the bodyguards standing nearby rushed forward to rescue her and began assaulting Drake.

Drake grappled with the bodyguards.

The Blackwood bodyguards were professionally trained and highly skilled. Drake was no match for them, and within moments, he was beaten to the ground.

Grace straightened her clothes that had been dishevelled during the altercation, her eyes showing m contempt and annoyance. "I did say I wouldn't hurt her, and I haven't. I'm not the one who kidnapped Thalia Winters. Why on earth are you taking your anger out on me?" Drake struggled painfully to his feet.

His face was bruised, and he had multiple injuries, but he paid no attention to his own wounds, concerned only about Thalia.

"What have they done to her? Where is she now?" he demanded.

Chapter 140 Grace looked at him coldly. "How would I know? If you're so concerned, go find her yourself." Drake fixed a malevolent gaze on Grace, saying through gritted teeth: "If anything happens to her, I swear to God I will never let you get away with this!" Grace couldn't help but laugh dismissively.

"Drake Ashcroft, don't forget how your pathetic Ashcroft Group survived. Remember who the largest shareholder is now. Threatening me? Please. You're not even remotely qualified." Drake's fists were tightly clenched, veins protruding on the back of his hands.

Back when the Ashcroft Group's funding chain had broken, facing bankruptcy, he had soughe investments everywhere. But because he had offended both the Winters and Blackwood families, no company was willing to help him. Later, Grace had approached him, giving him a business card.

At his wit's end, he had agreed to cooperate with Grace and made that call, seeking help from Arno Jones.

It was only later that he discovered Arno Jones and Grace were merely pawns working for someone else.

Drake had never met the person behind them, nor did he know his full name. He only knew they called him "Boss." The Ashcroft Group no longer belonged to the Ashcroft family.

The largest shareholder of the group was one of "Boss" Malfoy's subordinates, who was only a m nominal shareholder, holding shares on behalf of Malfoy. This meant that the actual controller of the Ashcroft Group was now their so-called "Boss." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
